Turns out I'm bad at this <_<

2:03 for Saturday's

Well that was a disaster

2:00 even. I think I'll stick to playing on my phone. Desktop version seems a bit clunky in comparison for some reason.

4:11 for Saturday. For comparison I've been doing some backlog Monday regular puzzles in under 7.

Today's was a real pain.

Saturday 2:31.

I struggled a bit, but not as much as I thought I would.

2:08, not too bad for a Sat

2:50

The European capital clues were fun, but they hung me up a bit.

1:21

Oof, this week's Saturday "mini" took me like 6 minutes

:56 for Sunday. I had to think about 5 down.

1:05, not bad

2:32 Saturday, 1:05 Sunday

Saturday's crossword - 47:52

:25 for Sunday's

It was 4 minutes and something, apparently it doesn't stop the timer when you finish? And I clicked off to another tab.

Y'all shame me so hard smh

I couldn't get it, I was 3 words short. I got every other word in about 20 seconds.

Anybody who has access to the archive puzzles should give the March 16, 2015 mini a shot and see if it's as much of a beast as I thought it was. It took me 7:33.

46 seconds

Sunday 1:27

1:10, decent

1:50

3:29 for Monday. I was reading too much into 4 across.

Regular in 8:15.

Oof, took me 8 minutes. I got stuck for so long because I thought 2 down was "arch" and I kept trying to make those two on the right side fit.

I eventually turned on Auto Correct to solve it. Which felt like cheating, but I never would have gotten it otherwise.

I thought it was that too.

2:04

Took me a bit, but I appreciate the gimmick for today's puzzle.

Damn, 3:37.

I got stuck on two down pretty hard. I went with ARCH and it seemed to make complete sense. I don't know shit about scuba, I figured a fan might be involved somewhere.

1:21 for Monday's

Utterly horrible

Monday 2:14

I blanked for a good long while there.

1:01 Monday

I "got it" juuuust a bit too late lol.

Todays really stumped me on the top right. Had to use hints and it took me over 4 minutes

1:06 for Monday.

It does stop the timer. Are you sure you actually finished? If you're like a letter or two off it'll still have a popup saying "so close" and to keep trying.

:31

Regular in 10:35. Highlight was the reference to the lyrics of Little GTO

41 seconds. One of the easier ones.

56 seconds. Slightly difficult, had to correct 6Down

Same here but I'm slower so it took me like 2 minutes because of that.

:22 for Tuesday's

41 seconds

Got 1:14. Added a bunch of extra time because I put WHINE and couldn't think of what it was meant to be.

1:12

Finally a decent run

0:31 on Tuesday. :D

2:10
Ive never done one of these before. Theyre pretty fun.

:25

:39

probably would have been quicker but the thing moved to a different line and started overwriting some answers. This was a real easy one today

You solved The Mini
in 47 seconds.

neat one, had some issues with typing in already filled boxes though
